Read these a while ago, so good! Oh, and there's the Consent Is as Easy as Tea clip, which I found hilarious and informative.

I saw it on facebook! British class and humour :D

I think it's not only about sex but about everything and it's important to remember that consent can change

When I watched the video, I found this in the suggestions (If a robbery report was treated like a rape report): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0L4V...
No wonder so many victims don't want to report it to the police after they were raped...

That's the dot on the i.
I think the conversation about consent is extremely important. The main focus of the conversation is usually on sexual activities. But we shouldn't forget to include non-sexual activities in the conversation. Things like shaking hands, dancing etc. anything that requires body contact. It's very important to teach children consent and bodily autonomy in everyday life, so that they learn to know their own boundries and learn to respect other peoples boundries.
This article is about why parents should teach their children consent and bodily autonomy and gives advice how to do it http://everydayfeminism.com/2016/04/p...

I feel bad for kids who are forced by their parents to be hugged by people strangers to them (friends of parents only), when it is clear the child is deeply uncomfortable. That is the first step to causing possible problems with body image.


I'm sorry Rivka I don't understand your comment. What do you mean when you say "all the details learnt during education leads to sexual abuse"? This is not clear to me.
